Chapter 606 Battle Against A False God (VI)

Spikes keep popping up and although they are not that big, at times, they are too painful to handle and as I run, the spikes slowly reduce my HP. It's not easy and if I try to slice it, it just goes down back to the Tormentor's skin and disappears so I didn't bother doing it and focus on healing myself from time to time whenever I am about to lose all of my health.

I really wish the paralysis debuff works most of the time but because it was tied in RNG, I can't guarantee the Tormentor to get paralyzed after that. If it did manage to happen, then it's a welcome one but as I said, it is very RNG based so I can only hope that happens but I won't be able to predict when it will happen. It might happen during the most crucial time or it might happen during the time I don't really need it but no matter, I have to keep going.

" Adushisqhdubkansududn! Gjshdjuhdwcjzbjbbua!"

The Tormentor is saying a sort of gibberish language as I continue to climb his arm in hopes to reach the eyes below his arm and destroy it if possible. If that was a weakness, I would sure gladly try to exploit it and reduce the threat this guy brings. I might have already destroyed one of its HP bars but I still have a long way to go. Still, I don't need to worry too much as the HP of the boss keeps decreasing as time goes by due to Poison, Curse, and Burn to whittle away its HP. But I can't be too overreliant on them. I also need to do something. I am not going to wait for it to fall down as that would take ages with still 4 more HP break bars that needed to be reduced.

Seeing that I am still running on his arm without being bothered by the tentacle spikes he was popping to stop me, the other tentacular arms that he was keeping still decided to make their moves to restrain me. Just like an octopus, the tentacles started darting from all directions after it started moving, trying to restrain me.

Just like before, I swing my sword multiple times, cutting off the incoming tentacles. It wasn't that effective but it kept them at bay and those tentacles that the sword just can't cut, I only deflected them out before continuously dodging and running the unstable hands of the Tormentor.

It took me a bit of time before I reached the place where the eye was located and yet the assault of the tentacles continued to plague me to move and I can't properly do so because one wrong move and those tentacles will bind me and squeeze the juices out of me. I was lucky enough to dodge most of them but it won't take long before I get overwhelmed.

Before the slimy tentacles get to me, I jumped off and activated my Flight, and fly under the arm of the Tormentor. Because it was using the tentacle powers, the eyes is wide open. I am usually numb to scary things but seeing the eyes just made me feel a bit unsettled a bit. It's not scary, just disturbing and it was a little bit unnerving.

The tentacles followed me despite dodging them but I dodged them again. I even tried to lead them to the eye but it seems the big eye is not just some sort of accessory but an actual eye that can see and feel whatever is happening before it as the tentacles avoided the eye instead of going through so that was a bust. The only way to do this is to blast off this big eye to pieces and see whether this guy will affect the tentacles.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! CLICK!

I emptied the remaining bullets out of my Pain Delivery gun to the eye. I can't risk using the Versatile Weapon's gun form as the tentacles are still major trouble affecting me and a gun does not properly fend me off these tentacular enemies.

The gunshots echoed and the bullets sink in. It was like I am shooting air by that but I can still feel that I have shot something with it. It just didn't have any sort of reaction from the gunshot I did which was not what I was expecting especially with the Pain Delivery being one of my weapons that I dubbed as a boss killing weapon. But it didn't do anything to the eyes.

And since I already tried to harm it, the eyes sent out multiple tentacles that are clearly there to capture me. It's no longer holding back and decided to go all out.

"F*CK YOU TO THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!"

I shouted and showed him my middle finger before I deactivated my flight which caused me to immediately fall midair to immediately escape the tentacles that immediately followed me down. Before I landed on the ground, I reactivated my flight again and escape falling down. If my usual tactics are not working and the eyes are not even getting damaged, time to add more, more and more firepower. More firepower and overpower this adversity.

Pulling out the scrolls pocket, I pulled out one of the offensive skills I made from the scrolls.

RIPPPP!

I pulled another one, ripped it, and another one again and ripped it again. All three are the same scrolls. Thankfully, unlike skills, these one doesn't have a cooldown and the only downside you have with this is that you can only use this limited amount of times depending on how many scrolls you have.

The heat in the surroundings started to increase and three red magic circles appeared not too far from the Tormentor. It wasn't directly into the Tormentor but it was close enough to hit the tormentor on whatever things will appear from that. They are placed next to each other and all three of them cover a very big ground. The heat slowly became intolerable and the tentacles that are chasing me wilted like plants and turn to ashes. The Tormentor was surprised by this and regrow the tentacles that got wilted but the same thing happened as the heat slowly enveloped the whole area. Even I who was the caster of the spell felt the heat of the spell.

The red swirling winds started to form in the middle of the three magic circles, each of them having the same size of small, red swirling winds... It was small in the beginning but it slowly grows, bigger and bigger. Big enough to reveal that it was a tornado made in flames. The scrolls that I tore apart are Tier 7 Magic Knight's Rune Knight skill, [Mystical Pyro Winds]. It was supposed to be a rune skill that the caster would need to draw on the ground to release the skill but because it was made into a scroll, the skill allowed me to use it despite not having access to the skill just yet.

The tornados slowly increased in intensity and the ground started to burn. The tentacles and the surrounding scourge slowly dry out and the HP of the boss is rapidly going down.

"Qhfuajbduwdhucbfuac! Jsud sd auhfbyyvs ydb! Unsubsudhwubdwv!"

Whatever sh*t the Tormentor is saying while the flames of the skill were raging, I didn't care. As that crap wasn't something I even care about. Then one unexpected thing happened.

The 4th break bar was broken due to the exposure of the flames and since the Tormentor is now joined together with the Scourge, the flames are twice as effective as before. And the moment the 4th break bar was broken, the 3rd break bar appeared, and refilled the HP bar of the boss. But then the unexpected happened.

The 3rd break bar just appeared and I know that the bar will still continue to lose HP since the [Mystical Pyro Winds] is still raging on the field but I don't believe it to be capable of immediately reducing a break bar's millions of HP to zero and forcing it to break into the 2nd break bar. Yes, its just a few seconds but the 3rd break bar that just appeared immediately got drained of its content and the 2nd Break Bar appeared

I was so confused about what happened so I opened the damage logs to see what caused that to happen. I don't believe that was a bug or something. Not on this boss. As I scroll down, most of the damage done was all done by the [Mystical Pyro Winds] but one entry immediately caught my eye as that was the only different entry from the damage logs and that was what I didn't expect.

"[Title Effects activated. Instant Death inflicted on the enemy. Due to the enemy having multiple HP bars, instant death will only reduce one HP bar's worth of health to the enemy.]"

Yep, that's right. [Death's Favorite]'s effects proc and activated against the Tormentor.
